Subject: Fedora 7: mplayer plugin does not work with firefox (2.0.0 ?).





Hi,



I still have previous Fedora Core 6 installed on one harddisk.

Here the mplayer plugin (version 3.35-1 from freshrpms) works

great with Firefox (version 1.5.0.12).



I bought a new harddisk and freshly installed Fedora 7.

I 'yummed' all necessary software for Firefox and Mplayer (plugin).

However, whatever I try, the plugin does not work.



The plugin starts (it says something like "downloading the file".

But when that is done, is displays just "Stopped" in the grey window

area that should display the movie picture.



Now, Fedora 7 comes with Firefox 2.0.0, and I wonder whether this

new 2.0 version somehow breaks the functioning of the mplayer plugin.

Could that be?



Or is there another trick needed, in order to get the plugin work with

Fedora 7 ?



Meanwhile, I keep using my old harddisk with Fedora Core 6; but I

easily can switch to Fedora 7, by connecting the other harddisk after

a shutdown, for  testing Fedora 7 purposes.



Thank you.

Rob.

Rob,

   Maybe you still have totem or totem enabled plugins.  To check type on the address bar
about:plugins.

you can also do a 

[olivares@localhost ~]$ ls /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ -l
total 0

and see if it is the culprit.  It gets in the way.  It won't play the files, but it also won't let another guy play them.  I went to that directory created another one and moved the files to the directory and firefox does not see them, therefore mplayer-plugin kicks in and does it job.  

In my user profile, I have the following plugins

[olivares@localhost ~]$ ls .mozilla/plugins/ -l
total 9556
-rwxr-xr-x 1 olivares olivares 7040080 2007-06-11 10:16 libflashplayer.so

[olivares@localhost ~]$ 

Hope this helps.
